Yeah, they are gonna try to even it up a bit, but it won't be drastic. It was quite obvious during the game that we were trying to put Dwight on the line and we hit our 4 fouls per quarter pretty fast...and they didn't. It's all good, nothing important have refs screwed up.

add reddick and it's more than enough.

Redick just hit his first one...we can wait some more so you can pick another player as well. And he was wide open on that shot.

But never mind now, Andris is already fouled out, so no much use for that zone now.

simply because orlando didn't had a chance to shoot. you just don't get the plan. look, with all our injuries we should have been blown out of this game. but this strategy worked. reason, boys, less emotions.

Let's just agree that we don't agree. No need to tell me that I don't get the plan when the plan is quite obvious. I just think there were some other solutions that would have saved us from giving too many fouls, but never mind. You stick to your story, I'll stick to mine.

ok, tell me the options besides run and gun, which we don't play anymore?

@Martin:I told you already. I was thinking of defensive plays. We needed more double teams on Dwight, with fast guys outside who could run fast to cover the shooters if they get the ball back, and we should have played zone defense a bit longer. This way, when you wanna foul him all game long you will just get all of your guys out of the game before it's over, which happened in the end, and we're losing. I just don't like that on few occasions we made intentional fouls on the start of their play.

It is a good game, we just had a chance to win it, and I was hoping that we would. I'm not content with barely winning and tough loses, especially when you're in the game until the very end. Yes, we had injuries, but if you're gonna throw that as an excuse to go for it, then you don't have to suit up for the game at all. You fight with what you got. And they did, I can't say anything bad to the players, I just feel we could have lasted longer if we switched defense a bit.
